Pleased to see my piece on the Five Basics out.
The homelessness emergency needs systemic solutions. But families in TA also need healthy living conditions right now.
They need to be able to cook a meal & wash their clothes. They need the Five Basics today.

London spends £90 million a month housing families in
places often lacking basic amenities. The Five Basics campaign is an affordable fix: cooking space, laundry, Wi-Fi, storage and information in every placement. Proactive councils are actioning this, will yours join them?

Families are living in Temporary Accommodation (TA) with no idea how long they'll be stuck there.
We met council leaders this week to launch the #FixTheFiveBasics campaign to ensure people in TA have basic necessities such as clear, accessible information.
